Jacques the Peacock

Over the weekend Blueberry received her/his second toy! Matt and Jee-Hee gave us Jacques the Peacock. A most awesome brightly colored, texturized, sound making bird - all the good stuff to stimulate baby.

You can find more info about the company that makes these toys and why they’re full of colors, textures and sounds (that’s a big hint if you’re reading this) at: http://www.learningcurve.com/lamaze?locale=en_US&icid=flashNav.

Mom is doing well and we’re looking forward to our next appointment on Wednesday.

gifts

Over the weekend, Blueberry’s Aunt Suzi gave her/him its first clothing - a brand spanking new sixmonthsie (that seems made up, but i’m going with it), with the most appropriate of messages:

Daddy also received his first pre-Father’s Father’s Day gifts, a couple of books on preparation. Good reading and important information for the soon-to-be father!

“The New Dad’s Survival Guide” a fun, enjoyable read about preparing to be a dad and “Dad’s Pregnant Too” a detail (like really detailed) handbook for getting ready! Already through one, but I’ll be spending the next couple odays getting through the next.

the reveal!

I’ve been meaning to post this sooner, but I wanted to have the site somewhat finished up before I did it. So without further ado - video of the big reveal to the family! [quicktime]http://dinaandphilip.com/site/wp-content/video/blueberryrevealed.m4v[/quicktime]

2nd appointment

Today little blueberry (quite a bit larger now, I’m sure) is 13 weeks and five days along. And we had our second doctor appointment. An easy, quick appointment - but we did hear the heart! Pretty darn cool. And true to form, the kid was kicking as was evident by the loud knocks we could here.

We’ve been really lucky with a calm first trimester - little or no nausea and with two exceptions, no sickness at all. Meanwhile, we’ve entered the beginnings of some of the abdominal aches and pains, but nothing we can’t handle!

Our next appointment is scheduled for July 8.Today little blueberry (quite a bit larger now, I’m sure) is 13 weeks and five days along. And we had our second doctor appointment.

first photos!

We had our first appointment for the kid we’re affectionately calling ‘blueberry’ - since we found out it was about that size. Imagine our surprise when we discovered we were off by about two weeks!

Doctor reported the kid looked awesome as s/he swung their arms and legs wildly about, somewhat like a crazed dancer.

We had our first ultrasound and received the first photos which I’ve posted here.

Next checkup, June 9.

We also received our first baby gifts! Nicky visited us from Arizona bearing gifts from the Fee family. We received three books, Goodnight Moon, Peter Rabbit’s Peekaboo! and Colors. All of which have been recommended by Connor, a voracious reader whose taste for books is top notch! They were accompanied by our first stuffed animal - a cute lion, ROWR!
